The product, in the report: Anodized Aluminum SLURPEE Straw By 7 ELEVEN. The Trade Mark Name SLURPEE Is Etched On. 0.425 inch OD X 10.25 inch Long
I was in the backyard with my son while he was drinking through an aluminum slurpee straw from 7-eleven. We were walking back in the house when he tripped and still had the straw in his mouth. I turned to pick him up and he pulled the straw out of his mouth. He tried to scream but the only noise he made out was more of a gurgling. The straw had went through the rear of the roof of his mouth and there was blood spilling everywhere. He was gasping for air but there was so much blood he couldn’t get a breath. I took him to the ER for treatment because I couldn’t get the bleeding to stop and I didn’t know how much more blood he could lose before it would be fatal. Marketing a potentially fatal product specifically to attract the eyes of children no matter how innocent a straw might seem, is purely negligent and a disregard for consumer safety.
